Klon Dyke 🍫👯‍♀️

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

"In America, punishing leaders who attempt to overthrow the government is considered divisive and uncouth"

ok but how is the opposition party supposed to win over his supporters now, have they even thought about that

Looks familiar.

quite literally me 2 seconds ago when I got the news 😔

ERIC DANE??????

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

They’re still trying to deport Liam Ramos, for god’s sake. They will admit no wrong for executing Renee Good or Alex Pretti. We’re still having to feed and house tens of thousands of families, many legally in the country, because they are unsafe going outside. This has been going on for two months.

i am increasingly bothered by terms like "showdown" or "face-off" or "clash" when used to describe corrupt and fascist power coming up against resistance because there's an implied symmetry that does not exist.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

I cry for all the Liams who do not have the public image that this one does and who are now languishing in horrid conditions. And I protest for them.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

"Stop drawing attention to our depraved and senseless immigration system" is not the response I want from Democratic lawmakers

US dems look at the reality that both candidates would be beholden to genocide and imperialism as proof they should vote for one or the other instead of realizing this is an indictment of bourgeois elections and that it transparently shows the limits of the system

“Submit to the genocide machine!”

I can’t stop thinking about the kids screaming “let us out” at the camps. I’m so devastated that people built these walls, caged their fellow humans and are defending it now.

“Hey you guys didn’t vote for a genocider so actually the fascism happening now and our institutions inability to protect from it are actually your fault”

Do you hear yourselves

When our political leaders fund the bombs that shred the bodies of children in Gaza, they are letting us know that they are ok with funding the agency that killed Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Keith Porter.

It’s moral decay.

It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

As Homeland Security’s siege on Minneapolis enters its third week, locals are volunteering for patrol shifts, protesting in the streets, and keeping one another up to date in group texts.

Read more from @scottmeslow.bsky.social in Minneapolis:

And it’s pretty clear that people think of nonviolent as simply being passive, when nonviolent was a larger umbrella that encompassed agitative demonstrations. A sit-in at a whites only restaurant is nonviolent but it’s not passive. Occupying buildings, cars, etc are all nonviolent.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

from there it either becomes easier and easier for them as they refine the playbook, OR it becomes a losing battle of attrition where each city mobilizes against them faster and more effectively than the last

and it's gonna go down in a way uniquely dependent on very local, individual action:

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us.

WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️

TikTok transfers ownership on Jan 22nd and Oracle will be in charge of the algorithm. Much of the news and topics you go to TikTok for will be suppressed and propaganda will likely be pushed to the front.

A reminder: you are not innately immune to propaganda. Stay vigilant.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

It’s really hard to talk about something like reading or literacy rates because people react by talking about what’s personally preventing them from reading and defending themselves — I’m tired / I’m disabled — as if it’s a story about them and not about the larger society that’s being designed.
